Hi everyone,
My family and I picked up our Jayco 17.56-02 OB in July and have done 3 trips (Airlie Beach, Conway Beach and Cania Gorge). We have 3 children (6,4 and 10 months) and it's been perfect. We tow with a 2014 Landcruiser which tow with ease..

I wish now I had of been on this forum before we picked the van up. There is so many little tips on here.

What are everyone's opions on tool boxes and bike racks?? We would like a tool box on front that can hold the gas bottles, generator and chain saw neatly.

Thanks very much Kandice

:welcome: to the forum @Kandice Shack
Yes plenty of tricks and tips from others on here.
Can't help with the bike racks but quite a few threads and ideas on here. As for the front box..... Best thing we added but!!!!!! If you have a standard length draw bar beware of the width of the box you fit. Ours just hits the corner of the bumper on sharp turns. Once again plenty of posts to look through for answers :)
